“A” is for “Allie”. Short for Allie Cat; a tuxedo rescue, we
acquired at two months. My kitten Allie, aka “Kitten McGrabbyPaws”
is something else. She's going to be one year old on the 29th
of this month, and she's not the tiny kitten she was when we first
brought her home, but she's the squirmiest, grabbiest kitten I've
ever had. She's really the sweetest thing on earth, but not the
brightest cat around. But that's okay. She knows what she needs to
know to be a cat. She does try to be a person, on occasion however
and this is when she's at her funniest.
Here is Allie being a ham, telling me I'm doing it wrong. Check out the fur on her hind feet. All the kittens have this fur, which we have dubbed the "tragedy of cat wool" for some idiotic reason.
It's
generally when I'm trying to fold clothes, or walking across the
floor. When I'm folding clothes, she'll stand up on her hind legs and
try to grab at the clothes. She mirrors my actions and it looks
hysterical. I really need to get my fiancé
to film this, because it does look so ridiculous. She waves those
little paws around like they're little hands. She also tries to
“hold” my hand when we're walking side-by-side and she'll try to
get up on her hind legs. With very little success, I might add.
I fail to see how anyone could be comfortable sleeping in this position, but she does this on the regular. Help. My cat is broken.
All
in all, she's a happy creature and she's not that demanding for a
cat. We have a hard time finding treats that she'll like. The others
will pile into whatever fishy, stinky thing we find for them, but not
Allie. She does try to bury her food, though. I thought this was odd,
until I looked it up and some cats do have this atavistic trait of
trying to bury their food; it's left over from before their
domestication, when they had to kill to eat and they would cover the
part of the kill they didn't eat for a snack later. Our cats all have
their quirks and I'll be telling you about some of the secret things
I've found out about cats as we go through our #a-to-z-challenge! I
hope everyone is having fun and staying safe!
She has the most bewitching eyes and she looks right at you! <3
